Pamela could not help but worry about the fact that Corinne refused to address her simply as ‘Grandma’. She worried that Corinne was still unwilling to forgive Jeremy and that Jeremy—that idiot grandson of hers—would fail to win Corinne back.

“Thank you for believing me, Corinne. You have no idea how worried I was that you’d think I’m only here for the baby. While I admit that I can’t wait to meet my great-grandson, I’m also not the type of grandmother who only cares about the babies. In my heart, you’re the most important person, Corinne.”
